Blackpool’s Jeff Thomas featured in Prizefighter: Light-Middleweights in September, the 30-year-old producing one of the fights of the competition when warring to a majority draw with Kris Agyei-Dua. The decision meant that the scorecard of referee Terry O’Connor decided the bout. Ironically this was the same O’Connor whose terrible 98-92 card at the end of Tyson Fury’s first meeting with John McDermott led the BBBoC to appoint three ringside judges for English title fights.
